At $12 for a single-vineyard kabinett, this is an excellent value, delivering exotic honey, apricot and spice notes. The texture is creamy and silky; the finish is lush and soft. Drink it over the next few years.

The Gräflich von Hohenthal’Scher wines are remarkably well priced for single-vineyard offerings. The 2007 Zeltinger Himmelreich offers bold scents of wet stone, pineapple and melon, turning honeyed and tropical on the palate. It’s sweet and lush, perfect for near-term consumption with mildly spicy Asian cuisine.

Notes of honey and cinnamon combine with a slightly musky spice note to give this sweet auslese added interest. It’s round in the mouth without being soft or flabby in the slightest, with lingering notes of baked apple on the finish.
